To alliohomifmdg c-m.-e/'n.' v I Be it known that I. llumnm Anvmsox,

. a citizen of the United States. residinglat .Mmncapolis, 1n the countyof Henuepln and State of Minuesotafliave invented certain newf and usefu\llmprovementsin Necktie Holders; and 1 do hereby declare the following'to' be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled inthe art to which it.,appertains to make anduse the same This invention relates to a necktieholder.

and particularly to such a holder adapted "to form both a device forholding the tie. in position in' the collar and a tie clasp'ffo'r,holding the lower portion of the tie, indengagement; with the shirt.

be inserted in the knot of a tie of the fourin-hand type and to extenddown and in the rear of the tie and be provided with a. tie clasp. 1 V

It is a further object of the invention to provide such a device of verysimple and etiicient form. j,

These and other objects and advantages of the invention will fullyappear from the following description made in connection with theaccompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the.same parts throughout the different views, and in which,

Fig. 1v is a view in front elevation showing the device in position in atie;

Fig. 2 is a view in front elevation of the device;

Fig-3 is a horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; I

Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is a section corresponding to the section shown in Fig. 3, butshowing a modification; and

. Fig. 6 is a vertical section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

'Asstated, the device is intended for use with a tie of the four-in-handtype. Such ties may be either tied by the wearer or may be purchasedalready tied.

Referring to the drawings, the device is shown as made of a section ofwire which is formed with a fiat loop 1 at its upper portion and fromwhich loop extends a shank portion 2 of narrower width than theportion 1. The loop portion 1 is formed at its top with a re-entrantbend which, in turn,

fol-Ins l y extending loops or 1 at the upper sides of the loop.

The wire forming the device is twisted upon itself substantially midwayofv the por- H0112 to add to the rigidity'of the device. Ad acent thebottom of the, portion 2 the w res are again twisted atthe points 3 andone end of the wireisbent to the rightat substantially a right angle tothe length of the member 2. The other strand of the wire ad }ace]nt thetwist?) is bent at substantially a right angle to extend to the left, asseen in Fig. 2, constituting the portion indicated at in Fig. 3. Thisportion isthen shown at 6 in The portion 6 extends to the right. f be gas shown I It is anobfect of the nvention to prov desuch a holder'having'a portion adapted to in F ig. substantially the same distance asto the left thereof, where itfis; again tend to the left in theportion 7which isadacent and substantially parallel to the por tion 6. Theportion 7 iis then bent to the rear, being spaced in substantiallyparallel together with the rear portion 5 and the portion immediatelybelow, thus form a resillent clamp as the wire is made of resilientmaterial. i

In the use of the device, the flat loop 1 Wlll be placed immediatelyunder the top layer 2 of the tieshown in Fig. 1 and is slid upwardly incontact with the undersurface of said layer. It will thus pass to theupper portion of the knot b ofthe tie and bent forwardlyand againto theright,v as

.75 formed w th a loop-4 and again benttoexbear against the same, asillustrated in Fig.

4. The knot bean then be pushed upwardly to fit snugly and properly inthe top of the opening in the collar 0. The upwardly projecting sidebends 1 will properly hold the sides of theknot in the sides of thecollar opening. WVhen the tie has thus been pushed upwardly to theproper position, the shank 2 which will extenddown in the rear of thetop layer ft of the tie will be swung tothe left, as shown in Fig. 1 andthe layers of the tie in front of the shirt, together with one thicknessof the shirt at the opening thereof, will be engaged between theportions 5 and 6 of the tie clasp. The device is thus prevented fromdropping and the tie will be both held properly in position in thecollar and will be properly clasped to the shirt.

In the modification shown in Figs. and

6, instead of forming the tie clasp b bending the wire, as described, ametal tie clasp comprising spaced members and 11 is soldered orotherwise suitably secured to the bottom of the wires forming the shankportion 2. These portions 10 and 11 may be made in the shape illustratedin Fig. 6 to effectively clamp the lower portion of the tie andeitherlayer of the shirt at the openin thereof. 7

%rom the'above description it is seen that applicant hasprovided asimple and efficient device for properly holding the tie in position.Such a device is of great utility rious changes may be made in the form,de-

tails and proportions of the parts without departing from the scope ofapplicantsinvention, which, generally stated, consists in the mattershown and described and set forth in the appended claims.

What is claimed is: I

1. A necktie'holder comprising, a narrow frame having a widened portionat its upper end, the top part of which is adapted to be spaced from andabove the collar button, said portion being fiat and adapted to bedisposed in the knot of the tie to engage a fold at the top'thereof tohold the tie in position, and means adjacentthe bottom of said frame forholding the same in position adapted to engage the tie and shirt.

2. A necktie holding device'comprising a flat narrow rigid frame havingits top part formed with laterally spaced upwardly projecting port-ionsadapted to be disposed in I the knot of the tie and spaced above thecollarobutton, and means adjacent the bottom of the frame engaging theshirt to hold the device in position.

3. A necktie holder formed of wire and having at its top a fiat loopportion with upwardly directed spaced bands at its upper corners adaptedto be inserted in the knot of the tie the upper portion of said loopbeing spaced above the collar button and having a pair of, strands ofthe wire extending downwardly therefrom and formed at their lower endsto constitute a, tie clasp.

4. The structure set forth in claim 3, the device being made of onecontinuous piece of wire.

In testimony whereof I afiix m signature.
